“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
Marcus Aurelius
“Old places and old persons in their turn, when spirit dwells in them, have an intrinsic vitality of which youth is incapable, precisely, the balance and wisdom that come from long perspectives and broad foundations”
George Santayana
To depict this room 2-point vertical perspective was used to partially open up, or unfurl, the space while keeping within the bounds of acceptable distortion. The two (primary) vanishing points are on a vertical line; if they are spaced too far apart any advantages of this perspective method are reduced.
The room's true verticals converge at the lower vanishing point; the horizontals that are directed away from the eye appear to approach infinity — which is the upper vanishing point. The room's horizontals (to the eye) are unaffected, and remain parallel.
In the absolute coordinate system of the room, the open door exists in its own rotated auxiliary co-ordinate system; in the perspective process the door also has two (secondary) vanishing points — which lie on a horizontal line (in the picture plane) that passes through the upper vanishing point of the room. The door's horizontals (at the top and bottom of it) converge at the auxiliary vanishing points on the Hz line through the upper absolute vanishing point. The verticals of the door behave exactly as those of the room – they converge to, or radiate about, the lower vanishing point.
The chair can be considered as being contained in a box-like orthogonal space; this box, which is turned to some arbitrary angle, has a (tertiary) pair of vanishing points that also lie on the Hz line through the upper vanishing point.
This vertical configuration of two vanishing points can give quite dramatic effects – for particular scenes where orthogonal objects have not been rotated about a vertical axis. Once any such rotation has occured (however small), as with the door or chair, then the auxiliary vanishing points flip to being on a horizontal line. Some of the pencil construction lines are intentionally left visible.
This sketch was done on one page of an A5 notebook — and the top and bottom (the primary pair) vanishing points are on the page. The picture has been cropped from the full page scan.
I have driven by these ruins many times on my way to Seven Springs. Today I decided to slow down and explore.

One of the great things about hiking in Arizona is the perspective it gives you.
Sooner or later you'll come across a few potsherds, a panel of weathered petroglyphs or even a stretch of low rock walls. When you do, you can't help but reflect upon the transient nature of so much human endeavor.
A thousand years ago, a network of Hohokam villages stretched across much of what is now southern Arizona. The Hohokam, ancestors of today's Pima Indians, grew corn, beans and squash, and they harvested what they could from native plants such as mesquite and prickly pear. They hunted small game, traded goods with their neighbors and designed and built an elaborate system of canals, which later became the basis of the modern Valley.
The remnants of one of their villages stand on a hilltop nearly 10 miles east of Cave Creek. The Sears-Kay Ruin, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, takes its name from J.M. Sears, who founded the Sears-Kay Ranch in the area in 1887. Archaeologists say the 40-room site once provided shelter for 100 people or so.
The ruins stand about halfway around a loop, overlooking the usually dry bed of Camp Creek. Signs throughout the ruins relate the history of the site, which was occupied from about 1050 to 1200. Most rooms - now just rows of rough rock walls a foot or two high - were built around open courtyards that were used for daily activities.

I really hate perspective distortion. I cannot justify the price of a tilt and shift lens to stop it, considering the few building shots that I take.
If I adjust it in Photoshop to straighten it up, I lose height.
Leaning Challenge
Not something I usually do, but of always loved some of the angles by the river Wear in Durham. There's a million and one shots to be had!
As you will see just a different tone can make all the difference in a photo.
I think the larger on black really shows the perspective

Champ de Jacinthes en Hollande. Chaque printemps de nombreux champs de fleurs colorent la région. Une fois fanés, les bulbes de ces fleurs ont grossis et se sont divisés. Ils sont récoltés pour être vendus.

Field of Hyacinth in Holland. In Spring, a lot of flower fields are colouring the region. When they wither, the bulb has grown up and has split in several bulbs. People harvest there bulbs en seel them.

¡Que bueno es poder ver las cosas desde diferentes perspectivas!
Cada día David descubre el mundo a su alrededor, y las cosas se ven muy diferentes según si estás boca arriba, boca abajo, en brazos de alguien, o sentado. Pero los adultos a veces nos empeñamos en ver las cosas sólo desde nuestro punto de vista. Quizá ponernos en la piel del otro nos haría comprenderlo en vez de criticarlo. Analizar una situación que nos molesta desde otra perspectiva nos haría verla más como una oportunidad y no como un problema... y tantas cosas serían diferentes... si sólo las contempláramos desde otro punto de vista...
It's so good being able to see things from different perspectives!
Every day David discovers the world around him, and things look so different whether you are on you stomach, on your back, in someone else's arms, or sitting. But we adults sometimes just stick to our own point of view. Maybe if we tried to be in someone else's shoes, we would understand them instead of criticize them. Analizing an annoying situation from a different perspective could make us see it as an opportunity and not as a problem... and so many things would be different... if only we watch them from a different point of view...
